Thank you Jenny Craig for sponsoring this post. — Get serious about losing weight with Jenny Craig! I recently shared my 2017 goals with you guys – one of which was to achieve and maintain my ideal weight.

Last year, everywhere you looked on social media, it was hashtag everything goals. Relationship goals. Body goals. Bag and shoe goals. Hair goals. Career goals. Life goals. Goals AF. Well, 2016 is over but I’m still all about the goals. It may sound cliché, but I love the promise of new opportunities that each New […] Read More »

POPSUGAR has been sending me their #MustHaveBox for the past few months, and it’s one of the packages I receive that look forward to the most! It’s always full of fun surprises and an interesting selection of products. The October box was full of Fall-themed products while the November box was perfect for the entertaining […] Read More »

Last year marked a decade of blogging for me! It’s a huge milestone, but the time really flew by without me noticing because I truly love what I do! What’s Haute grew out of my passion for both writing and fashion, and has sustained, in part, due to loyal readers like you, as well as […] Read More »

The thing I love most about the POPSUGAR #MustHaveBox is that they’re always so perfectly curated! Take this month’s box, for instance. I recently received the November 2016 box to review and it couldn’t be more on time for the holidays! This month’s mix of goodies are party-perfect snacks, the perfect makeup and jewelry to […] Read More »

Mondays signal the start to a full week ahead. Long, active days often leave me zapped of energy by the end of the day. But, as a person with a lot on her plate, I want to get the most out of my time. I started looking for a supplement that would energize me throughout the day, […] Read More »

I can’t remember exactly when I first started reading Awesomely Luvvie but I think it was her Scandal recaps that initially drew me in to her site. And once I was there, I instantly became addicted to her humorous takes on, well, pretty much everything! I bookmarked her site, followed her social media accounts and […] Read More »

You guys – can you believe it’s September already! Yikes! Where did the summer go? I can’t believe Labor Day weekend is just around the corner. As you know, this weekend signals the last big ‘hurrah’ for Summer. Last call for short shorts, white pants (ok, no one really subscribes to that fashion ‘rule’ anymore […] Read More »

I learned at an early age how important it is to give back. Growing up in a family of educators, I always watched my mom, aunt and grandmom go above and beyond to educate and assist their students, both inside the classroom, and out. They often worked in schools in low-income neighborhoods in Philadelphia, so […] Read More »

Where did the time go? Ten years ago, in February of 2006, I started a little blog for fun. I was preparing to launch my own handbag line so I spent a lot of time researching other emerging handbag designers online. I stumbled on to an online publishing tool called Blogger and discovered a bunch […] Read More »

The start of each New Year is synonymous with making a fresh start, so of course that includes making New Year’s resolutions. Every time January rolls around, we tend to make a bunch of declarations and promises to ourselves (and maybe to others) and then proceed to break each and every one. The gyms are […] Read More »

New York City is undeniably one of the greatest cities in the world! I may be just a *little* biased, having lived there for a decade, but there’s no place like NYC, especially around the holidays! The lights, the food and shopping alone makes the city a must-visit during the month of December – the energy […] Read More »
